Here's the new video for Animal Collective's Brothersport, off MPP. It features lots of acrylic paint, grotesque animated creatures, two kids, eggs, and more paint. You can watch a slightly higher def version here.
This song is off of a compilation album that came out over the summer last year, and I feel the album and the song did not get much coverage or recognition. The album is made up of a bunch of Mark Mulcahy songs, and this is one of them. This song is truly beautiful in my opinion. The harmonies in it are perfect; in fact, they were sung by Thom Yorke's brother, Andy Yorke. The lyrics and content of the song remind a lot of LCD Soundsystem's "Someone Great" - they both are about losing someone close to you. The album itself was made because of the sudden death of Mark Mulcahay's wife, leaving him to raise his two children alone. The video was released a little while ago, but I just came across it and really enjoyed it, so here it is. Also, the scene underground where they are running through tunnels of bones was almost certainly shot in the Catacombs of Paris, a truly creepy place.
Islands :: No You Don't
Here's the music video for Islands' "No You Don't," off of their newest album, Vapours. The song and the video are about buying drugs from someone you shouldn't buy them from, and then tripping. The protagonist if you will is played by Michael Cera (if you don't know who he is you have probably been living under a rock...).
The Drums :: I Felt Stupid
Here's the new video for the Drums' "I Felt Stupid." The song is very 80's new wave, and certainly sounds like it draws some inspiration from the Cure.
